Steven Cook spoke to Mariliza Anastassopoulou about these issues on the podcast.

Greece and Turkey form a unique couple. They have fought their respective wars of independence against each other. Recently President Erdogan escalated his rhetoric against Greece threatening to “come instantly one night”.
 
Why now? What lies behind this escalation? What makes President Erdogan agitated? How relations between Greece and the US, as well as Turkey- US relations affect the way Erdogan behaves? And how domestic politics in Turkey affects its foreign policy? Would things be different without Erdogan in the picture? In this “Ti Kosmos” (“What a World”) podcast Marilisa Anastasopoulou addresses the above issues in an enlightening discussion Steven A. Cook, expert onTurkish and Arab politics Steven Steven A. Cook is the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. His latest book is “False Dawn: Protest, Democracy, and Violence in the New Middle East”.
